Daughter Fulfills Promise to Bring Deported Mother Back as U.S. Citizen

An American immigration lawyer has shared the emotional story of reuniting her family, fulfilling a promise she made years ago to help her mother gain U.S. citizenship after being deported.

The lawyer, known on TikTok as @leliathelawyer, posted a touching video celebrating the milestone at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office in Phoenix, Arizona. In the video, she is seen joyfully waving small American flags with her mother and another loved one as they celebrate her mother’s new status as a U.S. citizen.

Reflecting on her journey, she recalled the vow that drove her to become a lawyer. “When my mom was deported, I promised her that I would become a lawyer and bring her back. Today, she is a U.S. citizen!” she wrote in the video’s caption.

The lawyer explained that her mother’s deportation not only caused immense pain but also ignited her passion for immigration law. “Bringing my mom back after deportation was the reason I became a lawyer. Deportation separated my family, and I fixed it by filing for her green card and then U.S. citizenship,” she said.

Her story has deeply resonated with many online, shedding light on the emotional struggles of immigration and the strength of determination in overcoming obstacles.
